My floorpiece keeps turning on and off when I try and vacuum. It almost seems like it is shorting out, but it isn't. I suspect it is something to do with the handle piece attaching to the floor piece.

Answers :

You are exactly correct. \012\012What it is exactly is the hose connection to the power nozzle. The plug on the handle of the hose should be flush with the plastic piece below it. To correct this, you can open the handle and push the plug back into place. What I normally recommend is a super glue of somesort, like krazy glue. \012\012remove the plug, glue into place and make sure that the recepticle or plug is out far enough to make a solid connection. \012\012Good luck

Kenmore 25512/ 25513 Progressive Canister Vacuum

HI, I have a Kenmore 25813 and it seems like there is an intermittent short. When I have the extension wand on and the power floor attachment on, when it rotate the wand the light cuts out and so does the power floor attachment, when I twist it back it comes on again. I don't have this problem if I remove the wand and just use the crevice tool with the hose. Any idea where the short might be and can I fix it myself? Thanks. Gary

The power brush floor rug attachment on my Eureka 6997 A Oxygen Canister Vacuum goes on an off as I use it. I replaced the The power cord from the handle has 2 plug in connections:
1 at the handle / upper wand
1 at the lower wand top of the power brush attachment
I replaced the entire wand assembly and it worked great for a year or so and now it's doing the same thing again. I was told to keep the power switch on the handle set to off when connecting the power brush attachment or it will bu

I have an electrolux renaisence vacuum. the brush in the floor attachment turns but I have no suction. When I change to bare floor option on the handle the brush stops turning (correct) but I still have no suction. The lights on the handle showing --floor,carpet, high and low all work.

Sounds like you have a clog, either in the hose or the inlet by the brush roll. ...

There is something stuck in the handle of my Miele vacuum. I unscrewed all the screws hoping that I could remove the hard plastic handle from the hose. I was only able to flip up a piece of plastic where the switch is. Should I pull harder to pry the plastic apart? I was afraid I'd break something.
Thank You,

Handle no longer 'locks' causing the attachment suction to engage when I'm using the floor brush.

How do I attach the rainbow mate to the rainbow canister or wand? I have the D4C model, My electric hose is original but does not have the grip handle. Does that matter? The cord is so short it cant just attach to the canister right? thank you very much.

The steam is comming off the tip of the body but the attached floor piece will not let the steam out to the floor through the pad. The body tip has turned white because of the steam pressure build up.

I have a Eureka Mega Boss Central Vac Model # CV1801P. The suction works when the handle button is pushed left (floor mode) but no suction happens when the button is pushed right. When the floor attachment is hooked up and the button is pushed right, the brush rotates, but there is no suction.

I removed the handle of my Dyson DC24 to vaccum in high areas and now when i try to put the back piece back, it doesn't click. So when try to vaccum on the floor the handle just comes off.

Hi there,I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty with your DC24. The wand handle should reattach easily to the machine, locking into place with an audible 'click'. If it doesn't seem to be doing this, you may want to check you have the han ...
Dyson Ball DC24 Bagless Upright Vacuum

My handle won't go back up after an extended vacuuming session during which I used the hand/broom/animal hair attachments several times, thus pulling the hose out/putting it back in, starting/ stopping, and suddenly no matter what I do short of forcing it (and even if I try forcing it a bit) I can't raise the handle to put it away.

Do you know what model number Dyson you have? Is it the ball style one? Just find a similar product here on this page and let me know what model number is closest: ...

I am looking for a Hoover Steam Vac Bare Floor Attachment, Part #90001331. I found one in the US for $8.95 but by the time I paid shipping and handling it would cost $91.77, a little ridiculous. I am looking for one in Canada. Can you help. I have heard Hoover has been bought out and parts are very difficult to purchase. I bought this 1 month ago and I'm sorry I didn't know this prior to purchasing.

My son dropped the Hoover Floormate hard floor cleaner and a black piece with a spring came out. I dont know where it goes, and now the handle wont stay up.

I agree that it is the wheel assembly that's broken. However, my wheel assembly broke in a different place, so I bought a replacement part for $20 or so. I have never figured out how to swap it out...\015\012 \ ...
Hoover Floormate H3000 Upright Wet/Dry Vacuum

Dyson vacuum I have a DC07 vaccuum. The problem I am having is that the front does not want to stay down as I vaccuum and I continuously have to keep stepping on the front to make it go back down to the floor. It seems as though there is either not enough weight in the front or possibly the unit just has to be broken in so that there is not so much resistance between the handle and the front of the vaccuum. Could there be something I did not remove or is this typical on these vaccuums?

There is some thing broken it is two plastic cogs they help the front go down and stay up you will have to get a star screw driver and there should be two screws on top and two at the b ...

I have a kenmore model 11625512506 vacuum cleaner. The problem is when I select "floor" on the handle it does not turn on, it only turns on if I select the "carpet" function and it is attached to the Power Mate. This means that I can not use any other tool or function other than the carpet one.

My Bissell Pro Heat Pet will spray water but not pick it up when cleaning the carpet. Is there anything I can do to fix it? The furniture attachment hose picks up water well. It seems like it could be a bit more powerful of a draw on water. I don't know it that has something to do with why the floor cleaning sucktion doesn't work. Thank you for your time. Jenn

There is no suction to the wand and attachments. Floor suction is great. Seems like something is blocking the wand.

I have a Hoover SteamVac Spot/Deep Cleaner, model F5515. I've had it a little over 1 year. It will not extract dirty water from the floor. I've made sure the recovery tank is attached correctly and also that the stair tool is connected. Is there something else I can try??

I have an electolux EL7001 canister vacuum. When I attach the large power nozzle....the one for the carpets not the small one for the floors...the nozzle is not powered unless I strap it on with duct tape. Is there some piece I can purchase that will secure the connection between the wand and the power nozzle head so that it is powered without the duct tape?thank you.

When running the 2100 Electrolux vacuum, it is stopping and starting when pulling or pushing the floor attachment. Seems like the connection at the top of the handle is a little loose or the electric tabs are loose where the hose connects. Any ideas?

Other option is that on the hose end of the electrical connection, you can use an awl on the electrical connections to bend them in slightly so they make good contact when they are automatically plugged in when you connect the wands. HOWEVER, ONLY D ...
Electrolux UltraLux 2000 Bagged Canister Vacuum

I just bought a used euro pro steam shark model ep903, has all parts but when I turned it on to use it water and steam poured out of the handle grip area. Am I not doing something right?
The manual says to attach the brush directly to the hand grip but I can't use it without getting burned.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I have a Dyson upright vacuum cleaner makes a helluva racket whilst in use. Called up Dyson and they told me to flip the floor/carpet knob 10 times back and forth. That did the trick for a short while and it started again. Continue attempts useing that technique does not work. I think in spite of the big bragging I see on the TV this guy braying about how superior his product is it is a piece of junk. I should have bought a Eureka or something, at least it would have been less expensive.
